We've had the latest update from our representatives in the Bicol area of the Philippines, Donsol Eco Tours, following the eruption of the Mt Mayon Volcano:"Following recent eruptions, Mayon Volcano is now on Level 4 alert. It has been continuously erupting since 1200H 22 January.""Mayon's eruption is not dangerous but precautionary measures need to be taken to ensure zero casualty and for everyone’s safety. Mayon is the most active volcano of the Philippines and erupts every 3 to 5 years (latest eruptions were in 2010, 2013-2014, and now in 2018). Mayon eruptions can last for several weeks to a few months. Compared to volcanoes that do not erupt for hundreds of years (and hence builds a lot of pressure), Mayon erupts so often that the eruptions are not devastating. Life goes on like normal but with minor limitations.""Flights in and out of Legazpi and Naga airports are suspended until further notice. The possibility of the ash entering the engine of the airplane could pose a threat to passenger safety."- Donsol Eco ToursPhilippines Tours >> • Send Money to the Philippines >>If you enjoyed this article, please help us to share via the buttons below.

Nowhere in Asia is Christmas celebrated as it is in the Philippines!!It is the only Asian country with a predominantly Christian population, and its Christmas season is considered to be the longest in the world.The season begins in September and lasts until the start of January, thereby covering all months ending in "ber". Most Christmas ceremonies are still held in December, however.Christmas carols, and pop songs will already have been playing in shops and malls for many weeks!It's no surprise that Christmas is a highly popular time for tourists to visit the Philippines, often tying it in with the New Year holiday. Hotels and accommodation providers can be fully booked weeks beforehand.

The message is, if you're thinking about a holiday in the Philippines over Christmas, don't leave it too late!
